I'm going to start keeping a list of people who've recently posted here and live in Texas. I'd like to keep communication open between us Texas folk for the purpose of meeting someday and to revive TEXLUG (contact Karl Barger for more about that). (...)

Welcome back to Texas! I live up in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Awhile back, I was severely bitten by the LEGO bug and started a website called TEXLUG with the idea of starting up a LEGO User Group for the Lone Star state. There didn't seem to be (...)

(...) Well, welcome back! I live in Houston which is only about a 3 hour drive from Austin. I haven't a clue as to how many other AFOLs are in the area or even in Texas. Maybe we should do a "role call" to find out who is in the area and is (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jul-01, to lugnet.loc.us.tx)

I live in north Austin, up 183 near Oak Knoll. There is a Costco under construction on 183 between Braker and Duval. The one I visited was in Southlake, though, a DFW suburb.

Instead, they're saying "LEGO", like all trademarks, is not a noun, it's an adjective. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.us.tx)
